NEW CROPS.

The .Soaihern Sentinel. of VIM
field, La, says: On Sunday, Jan.
JIG, the Germans Of Fabacher Set
Element had most important m set-
ing at the residence of Mr.. Anthem
Wilfert. at which the propriety OF
attempting the culture Of jute and
ramie was fully discussed. The
Rev. Mr.. Gerlert. representing a
company in New Orleans. address
ed the meedbg. He stated that
the company would pay 81 per ton
for green jute at the farm, and IS
per ton for green ramie, provided
there were not less than 100 acres
Of either or both planted in the
settlement. Any farmer planting
not less than ten acres would have
the decorticating machine brought
to his place. Those planting a less
area must haul to the mashine. 1t
was stated that on poor soils the
yield Of jute is from ten to eighteen
tons, and on rich soils from twenty
to forty tons. This from seed the
first year. To get start of iuts
this expense will be twenty cents
per pound for seed up to 100 lbs;
over this amount aud less than
1000 pounds, twenty cents per h.;
and for over 1000 pounds, fifteen
c.nts per lb. Ten pounds per acre
of seed are required.
Ramie is more expensive to start.
as the plants must be purchased
and set out. These cost SIS per
1000. and 5000 per acre are neces-
sary. They last. however. for ten
years. and yield four crops per year.
OF course. after getting a start Of
either plant, the farmer need not
again incur the first expense. It
was partially agreed to accept the
terms offered, and to plant the leo
ares required in the settlement.
but two weeks time for further
was asked. when it is
final arrangements will be
made. 1t is to be hoped that the
enterprising farmers Of the German
settlement. will inaugurate the cul-
ture of these two valuable fibrous
plants. and thus begin a system
which will. in few years, render
farm ers Independent of cotton aud
rice, the prices of which seem to he
steadily declining.
